DETAILED DESCRIPTION

As discussed above, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to monitoring systems and more particularly to a personal monitoring and response system as used to improve the system for group monitoring of a subject.

Generally, disclosed is a software and schedule program capable of keeping track of at-risk individuals. The program may be comprised of a virtual group system that allows guardians or caretakers to identify any issues with the monitored person. The virtual group system may be comprised of the at-risk individual's family or friends. Notifications and alerts may be sent through the application in order to identify injuries or suspicious interactions.

The system may include an “angel” member; a “guardian” member; an “admin” member; and a “caretaker/caregiver” member. The angel member may be the at-risk individual that is being watched over by the virtual group. The guardian may be a member that accepts responsibility to receive event notifications from the system regarding the angels they are watching over and leverage the application to provide help via first response or group participation. The admin member may be a member who is financially responsible for subscription to the system and may invite other members to join his/her group. Finally, the caretaker/caregiver member may be a member who is the legal guardian of the angel and is able to provide all information about the angel. This caretaker/caregiver member may have the ability to revoke any invite sent to members and revoke any existing relationships.

The system may be configured to store medical information about the angel. For example, the medical information may be prescriptions, allergies, medical conditions, vaccinations, etc. The prescription information may be private or public. In the private mode, the prescription may only be viewed by the angel; the caretaker; and a first responder. However, the first responder may only view the private mode once event access has been allowed via a First Responder Portal. In the public mode, the guardian may view the prescription information if an “Access Control List” (ACL) allows it. The ACL may allow the guardians to see the prescription information all of the time or during an event only. Medical information may be readily available for a first responder to view without opening device. Additionally, medications may be logged within the system.

Personal information of the angel may be inputted into the system. The personal information may include an address of the angel; pictures of the angel; will documentation; preferred hospital information; family doctor information; medical procedures and details of procedure location on body; Do Not Resuscitate documentation and location of the documents in the home; location of electrical power shut off (location of breaker panel); location of boiler shut off; heat cut off location; location of bedrooms in a house the angel member is residing; information regarding pets in the house and type of animals; information regarding and location of hazardous materials in the house; alternative power source shutoff; emergency contacts; information to identify special needs or mobility restricted family members in the home; medical insurance provider and policy number (owner of policy and company and all related safe data). Examples of hazardous materials may be gun ammunition/reloading equipment and supplies. Examples of alternative power source shutoffs may be solar cell, thermal heating or windmill.

The system may further include schedules. Such schedules may include a date and time guardians are scheduled to watch the angel member(s). The guardians may not receive notifications if they are not scheduled to be on watch. This feature may be called an “Angel's Personal Guardian Scheduler”. Further, the schedules may include a date and time medicines are to be administered with low/medium/high alert. The low alert may include no notifications sent if the angel member does not acknowledge the reminder. The medium alert may include the caretaker being sent an event notification if the angel member does not acknowledge the reminder; and the high alert may include all guardians being sent event notifications if the angel member fails to acknowledge the reminder. The caretaker may receive an initial notification for the angel to take medicine. The caretaker can acknowledge if medicine has been taken. Scheduling may be used for a caretaker to perform vitals for an angel and log in the angel's schedule.

In addition, the schedules may include date/time location services. This may include geofencing to a pre-specified address the caregiver wants to ensure their angel member is during the time indicated on schedule. Failure may generate a location services event sent to all guardians to find the angel member. There may be a server-based polling/trigger to the care recipient's mobile device to acquire location of the angel 10-15 minutes before the scheduled time to show “breadcrumb” path in case of the location event. The route of the Guardian may be shown. More specifically, a “breadcrumb” path of the guardian in route to angel is provided for others to see during event view. Upon arriving at the angel location, an “arriving at location” status message may be sent to members and recorded in the system log. The location of the angel is able to be tracked at all times in any event. Additionally, the system allows for meal scheduling. This feature is particularly useful for users with diabetes or the like which require specific meals and diet. Rides, such as ridesharing pick-ups and drop-offs may also be scheduled using the system.

As mentioned above, groups may be integral to the system. The groups may be made up of family and friends. A price of the subscription service may be based on membership rather than relationships within the group. Assembly of groups may include invite processes. For example, there may be an invite process with guardian to angel relationships and an invite process with caretaker to member. The system provides the ability for an angel who successfully adds a caretaker to a group, to allow a caretaker to take over any existing configurations including groups that the angel may have created or participated in. Further, the groups may consist of primary and secondary groups. Notifications may be active based on schedule or manual. Members with relationships with other subscribers in different groups may receive notifications during an event. In this embodiment, the members may only receive notifications based on status or when scheduled to be active. The primary group may always remain active.

As discussed briefly above, the system may include events. The event engine may be activated by heart rate (via a wearable device worn by the angel); location (by geofencing); prescription schedule; or self-activation. Notifications may be sent to the guardians/caretakers via push notification or via SMS regardless of the group. The notification may include location of the angel (or the last known location) and all guardians that have acknowledged the event. Rides for angels in distress may be enabled during events. A caretaker may request or forcibly take over an event if the Angel is their care receiver.

Further, event triggers and sub-event triggers may be displayed, and these events and sub-events may be logged for the admin/caretakers. The guardian in charge may be able to trigger first response access to the angel's information and this trigger may activate a motivation to the group. In addition to this, a chat engine, group call or video call feature may be integrated in the system to allow the members to communicate during the event. The video call may allow real time video stream to a first response portal. The video features may be remotely activated on the angel's device during an event. Additionally, the system is configured to enable on-demand peer to peer video between caretakers and the angel. Video may be transmitted from one mobile device to another mobile device. Within the system is the ability to mute (allow view only) or blacklist a Guardian during an event that is not cooperating or making too much noise. The system may save all of the chat information so that members are able to look back on the events history. An additional feature is included providing the ability to request help from nearby members in “other groups” that can assist who are not in the group the event is for. The helpers are able to assist however, cannot see the Angel's information. Temporary access may be provided.

Reporting features are provided allowing users to view how well a group is working, see the angel's events, filter based on angel and event type and/or range of time, graph guardian participation during events, and see top performers during event.

The system may include security features. For example, the caretaker/caregiver member must be the legal guardian or power of attorney of the angel to set up all of the angel's information on the system. Further security features may include the guardians being blocked or allowed visibility to angel member all the time or ONLY during an “event”; the First Response Portal being initiated by the guardian in charge of the event and the ability to revoke; the guardian in charge status having the ability to be transferred via request/approval process; the notification to guardian/admins of event changes (e.g., secondary event, escalation to First Response or 911); Images and documentation being secured via application session token and TLS to S3 site; and a password recovery process. The password recovery process may include enforcing strong password rules, providing 5 data items user can provide for verification purpose, pin to phone reset, etc. The system may also further include a recovery process whereby the caretaker/caregiver member has the ability to view and/or recover a change and reset to original settings.

A user may view locations of other users within the system based on permission controls. For example, a user may View/Track the position of other users (guardians/angles) in an active event and View/Track the position of other users (inside group members and maybe outside group members by request). Further, a user may create, update, and/or remove geofences which would act as triggers for notifications based on expected locations which may or may not also be tied to a day/time. The system also allows a user to get a historical report of event participants' movements during an active event, grant temporary access to location data (real-time/historical) to First Responders, and set a specific guardian as the person in-charge of the event. Sometimes the historical report is generated from an event log module that records event-related parameters. Event-related parameters include at least participant movement during an event, the event trigger, response times of individuals.

A caretaker may check if an angel's device is setup properly with location permission. The angel profile data reflects current location permission value. Prompts may be used to indicate that location permission is not set up correctly. The user may be prompted to update device location permission and a notification is sent to a guardian that the angel's device does not have permissions setup properly for location services to work. The caretaker may update the angel's schedule and also see if angel has updated the schedule on their local mobile. The system may automatically check for anyone that has not updated their schedule on the local mobile and will send a notification to the angel to do so and the caretaker if needed.

The present invention includes a first responder module. In certain embodiments, the system may be used by first responder departments. Police, EMS, and fire department officials can check for available EMS, fire and police officials form other states who are vacationing in the area and are available to assist in a missing person search, a man hunt, fire containment situations, and emergency evacuation.

An event may then be created on the system 100 and as such, the guardian members and the angel member may then have access to view the event via the software-application 120. The retrieval of the at least one event-file 116 may be triggered by heart rate, location, prescription schedule or self-activation and may activate an event within the system. The at least one health-signal 141 may also be manually activated by the at least one subject 5 (FIG. 1) via the at least one subject-device 15. For example, if the at least one subject 5 (FIG. 1) feels threatened, is in a dangerous situation, or feeling unwell, the at least one subject 5 (FIG. 1) may trigger the at least one health-signal 141.

In one embodiment, the location-sensing means 134 may be configured to sense a location-parameter of the at least one subject 5 (FIG. 1). As discussed above, this may be via geofencing. In this embodiment, the location-sensing means 134 may be GPS, RFID, etc. As shown, the controller 131 may be configured to generate at least one location-signal 135 and send the at least one location-signal 135 to the server. The server-processor 111 may be configured to receive the at least one location-signal 135, retrieve another corresponding said at least one event-file 116, and send the corresponding said at least one event-file 116 for display as a notification on the electronic-device 10. As mentioned above, the location-signal 135 may be triggered if the location-sensing means 134 senses that the at least one subject 5 (FIG. 1) is not in a predetermined place at a predetermined time. The location sensing-means 133 may then send the location of the at least one subject 5 (FIG. 1) (or last known location of the at least one subject 5) as a notification to the group of guardian members watching over the at least one subject 5 (FIG. 1) at the time on the schedule.

In one embodiment, prior to creation of the event, the server-processor 111 may receive the at least one health-signal 141 or the at least one location-signal 135 and trigger a phone call to the at least one subject 5. A first phone call may be placed to a cell number of the at least one subject 5. If the at least one subject 5 fails to answer, a second phone call may be placed to a landline of the at least one subject 5. If both phone calls are not answered, the server-processor 111 retrieve the corresponding said at least one event-file 116, create the event for viewing, and send the corresponding said at least one event-file 116 for display as a notification on the electronic-device 10.
